Reform Bill Could Follow March Hearing

A spokeswoman for Senate Governmental Affairs Committee chairwoman Susan Collins, R-ME, said last week that a joint House/Senate postal oversight hearing is scheduled for March 23. Witnesses have not been selected yet, and a location is still to be announced.

The hearing will focus on postal reform issues. Bob McLean, executive director of the Mailers Council, said that this would be the last hearing before postal reform legislation is introduced, which he expected to happen in April.
